Description
An abstract, modernist woodcut, done in 1953 by Finnish printmaker Jaakko Somersalo (1916-1966). This impression is signed within the image in the lower center. It was originally signed in the left margin the opposite direction, but was erased and resigned 180 degrees. Traces of that signature can still be seen upon close examination.
